Grandad, or should I say Dad, as you where more like my dad than grandad, we did things together that fathers and daughters do, such as going on holidays to Wales,playing cards and spending real quality time together when we could. You were the person I always looked up to, the way you organised your life, your values and priciples and the fact that you where truly an honest person, sometimes brutally honest, but nevertheless everyone always knew where they stood with you. My thoughts play back to the times when you baked your own bread, and also the way you used to get emotional when listening to your favourite music by Mario Lanza. I feel I have lost a part of myself now your gone, and even though times where hard,especially the last year, I know that you lived your life the way you wanted, and you wouldnt have changed a thing. I do wish you where awake the last time I saw you in hospital,even just to say goodbye, but you where too tired as illness overcome you. I just wanted you to know that you where the best grandad and dad anyone could have had, and even though the pain I feel for your loss is immense, I have some comfort knowing that you are reunited with your wife, my Gran and that someday we will be reunited. Goodnight Grandad, my thoughts and love are always with you, your grandaughter Susan xxx
